just put the aux heater on it was starting to get warm should it get quick ? had a look under car the heater was warm ish, does this connect to the front heatersome how?heater did not make noise when it was turned off being told it makes a noise like a jet engine slowing down.

It is connected by coolant pipes to the engine cooling system, this causes the unit to warm up even if it is not running. If it is firing up the exhaust would be getting very hot, if it is only getting warm then it is not firing up. Edited December 17, 2007 by Beyond Help?
